Meet the Folks The Junior class presented this play, December 13 at 8:00 P.M. James Smith, a teenager, was about to give his first public speech and about to don his first tuxedo. His suit arrived - it was too large - and he got a terrible' sore throat. The maid took pity on suffering James and gave him advice on impressing the new girl. James big moments really boomed when the vice-president got up and gave the same speech he was to give. A free - for - all fight was started then because James was so embarrassed. But Pa and Ma returned just in time to prevent a call for the riot squad. It all ended well when the boys learned the new girl was engaged anyway
